At mystarbuckshirt.com you can build your cup of coffee... and at one time you could get a shirt with the finished cup on it. I was so excited when I built my coffee... it really sounds like me... short, sugary, nutty. (I don't really ask for organic milk... there was no whole milk option and the organic green looked nice with my design)

I was crushed when I found out you couldn't get the tshirts anymore... and super crushed when I found out they were actually free! You can go to the online auction and buy a shirt from a celebrity... but I don't want THEIR coffee on a shirt! I want MY coffee on a shirt. I want to walk into Starbucks... point to my shirt... smile and nod.

I did this a few weeks ago when they came out with the campaign (I'm on the email list). The t-shirts sold out the very first day! I like the idea of printing it out and ironing it on a shirt. For now it's my desktop wallpaper.

The t-shirts were available throughout February, with a limited quanity available at 10am PST each day. Unfortunately, every day, they were gone instantly. Sigh. The Starbucks near our office sent a message into Corporate to let them know about the demand, and that people would actually pay for them. (Although my Venti Unsweetened Black Iced Tea design wasn't very exciting.)
